I just thought 'Blue' was a great premise and a great set-up for conflict. I love the idea of exploring a character who's living a secret life and is going to drown in the lies she's telling.

I think 'Beyond the Blue Neon' is the best I've ever done.

I think my favorite two words are 'true blue.' I think those words are really important, and the spirit of them has been lost.

'Dark Blue' is ultimately a gritty crime drama, at its core. I don't think that is ever going to change.

I used this line to demonstrate how important colors are in movies: It's not a caprice.

'Gathering Blue' was a separate book. I wanted to explore what a society might become after a catastrophic world event. Only at the end did I realize I could make it connect to 'The Giver.'

I would like to make something very clear: Blue Lives Matter!

I think 'Caprica' is a little out of left field, which is kind of what I love about it. It's a little different. The first couple of episodes are really about wrapping your head around this world. I love 'Grey's Anatomy,' but I think it's the same kind of concept: You just get lost in this world, and you believe what they're setting up.

The blues are what I've turned to, what has given me inspiration and relief in all the trials of my life.

I think the blues is the best literature that we as blacks have created since we've been here. I call it our 'sacred book.' What I've attempted to do is to mine that field, to mine those cultural ideas and attitudes and give them to my characters.
